Exploring Teachers' Strategies In Speaking Skill At The Tenth Grade Students Of SMA Negeri 13 MBD

Abstract

This study investigates the strategies employed by teachers to enhance speaking skills among
tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 13 MBD. Using a qualitative approach that involved both
interviews and observations, the researcher focused on the experiences and classroom
practices of the English teacher. The study identified four primary strategies utilized in teaching
speaking: think pair share, role play, storytelling, group discussion. Each of these techniques
fosters a supportive learning environment, encourages student interaction, and boosts
confidence in speaking English. The findings indicate that these strategies not only improve
students’ fluency and accuracy but also engage them more deeply in the learning process.
